The Tauron 9mm is a double-action centerfire revolver featured in all the installments of The Last Stand series.

Description[]

A renewed variant of the classic prohibition-era snubnose revolvers, which we're, back in the day, very popular. It has a relatively high stopping power for its size and it also is very lightweight gun. The Tauron has been designed to fire the 9x19mm Parabellum round. It features a 2 inch barrel. a wooden laminated grip and a 5 round cylinder. It's used by law enforcement agencies and private citizens.

A firearm available in most gun stores troughout North America.

Information[]

Tactics
[]

This is most likely one of the first firearms the player obtains from missions in the Dead Zone. The Tauron loses effectiveness on higher levels due to the slow reload time and its small 5 round capacity. It otherwise is an efficient weapon against small numbers of zombies because it deals more damage than a rimfire cartridge firearm. Survivors should probably try to find a comparable semi-automatic pistol, such as the PPM-9.
